Dear Bernadette Joy Cruz
Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. I am happy to help you.
I notice you don't have autosave enabled. I would like to confirm if you have enabled any other backup. If you have iCloud Backup enabled, you might be able to restore your presentation from there.
If your files are saved locally but have not been backed up, it is difficult for us to help you recover your files directly.
I know how you feel, if you subscribe to Microsoft 365, you can turn on auto-save when editing your PPTs, which can help you avoid this problem. When auto-save is turned on, Word, Excel, and PPT will synchronize your documents to the OneDrive cloud at short intervals, so you won't lose your edits. For more information about AutoSave, please refer to the link: How do I turn on AutoSave? - Microsoft Support Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Have a nice day！
Sincerely,
